The first bottom-fermented Dok beer - quite a surprise that they even attempt bottom fermentation in the first place - intended as a Baltic porter, tasted from tap at their premises. Pale greyish beige, membranous-lacing, medium thick head showing small gaps; black robe with hazy mahogany edges. Aroma of used coffee filters, wet bayleaf, salmiak, burnt toast, leather, 'haemoglobin' iron, cured meat, cloves, vague sulfuric DMS note. Sourish onset, the sourness strongly enhanced by sharp overcarbonation but also by the absence of fruity esters; smooth and rounded 'black' maltiness, burnt nuts and heavily black roasted bread, bit bitter chocolatey in the end, coffeeish in its roasted bitterness with a spicy, long-lasting, tad wormwood-like hoppiness. Very roasty, neutral, malty and dry, bit overcarbonated as well, lacking some of the sweetish nuttiness and 'rotundity' I tend to find in classic Baltic porters. Perhaps a bit more caramelly malt sweetness and a notch more alcohol strength could improve this, but the fact that something like a Baltic porter is brewed in Ghent these days is something I would never have thought possible when I first started getting interested in beer almost twenty years ago...

Reference to the famous student night life street in Ghent, Overpoort.
Clear purple brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, roasted malts, caramel, coffee notes, sweetish impression, cocoa powder. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty, pretty roasted, coffee, bitter, hoppy, some caramel. Aftertaste: very roasted, charcoal, lots of coffee, chocolate, hoppy bitter finish, very good. More cocoa powder.

23 July 2018. L'Ermitage Tap Takeover at Dok Brewing, Ghent. Cheers to Anke!
Pours cloudy dark brown, blackish, with a lasting, small, foamy, beige head; lots of lacing. 'Dark' aroma of mocha, milk chocolate, roasted peanut, earth, wet leaves, hazelnut, chestnut, raisin. it tastes medium malty sweet, hint of chocolate, a bit nutty (peanut), and light toasty bitter, notes of brown, toasted bread & coffee. Dry, toasty finish, accents of herbal hops & nuts, lingering black coffee. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Balanced Porter, not too extravagant, but perhaps a tad too drinkable.
